Thanks for the cheers and well wishes yesterday. I have spun a partial bobbin and navajo plied it. I used four different colors of roving to attempt self striping sock yarn, but it isn’t thin or consistent enough for socks, so I don’t know what I’m going to do with it. I’ve set the twist, and it’s drying right now. I’ll hopefully get a picture today, and will show you tomorrow. I made a new hook though!

I have an abundance of them already, but now I have a wheel, so I needed a new hook. Right? Well, it’s pretty anyway, and it works good.

Yesterday was a good day. I got a lot of chores done, stuff cleaned, and I played with the wheel. I cleaned and oiled it, too. So now it’s even prettier, and it smells good.

I’m sure you’ve noticed that there hasn’t been a lot of knitting around here recently. That will change. I miss it. When I’m at the cabin next week, I plan to finish as many of my WIP’s as possible so I can start something new. I’m thinking about lace. Maybe I’ll finally start I Do with that luscious, pale blue Angora by Elsebeth Lavold that’s been getting it’s beauty sleep in my stash.

And finally, in response to the comments yesterday… Yes, I got a haircut! Gayle (FYRKRKR in the comments, and she just got a blog) cut it for me a while ago. I liked the length I had, but it was getting stringy, and because nothing about me is subtle, I had to whack it all off. It grows way fast, and I’m already looking forward to some more length, but it’s cute. I’m glad you all like it.
